BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Ranking second after Malaysia, Iran has witnessed the highest growth in steel production in the world, an Iranian economic official said.

The countries whose steel production saw a surge in 2022 compared to 2021 are Iran, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Pakistan, Argentina, Algeria, and the UAE, according to a member of the board of directors of the Tehran iron and steel guild association.

With a 10.9% hike, Pakistan's growth stands in first place in steel production, while Malaysia and Iran have come second in this regard, Mohammad Sadegh Chitsaz, a member of the management board of Tehran Iron and Steel Union said.

Steel exports reached 2,685,000 tons this year, marking a 2% drop in comparison with the preceding year, he underlined.
